I like emailing people but they don't like emailing me back. What am I doing wrong? I like asking fun questions.
It's easy talking to people. But it's really hard making and keeping friend's. Some times I feel like the oddball. Because I don't work, don't go to collage, don't have any really good friend. I don't even drive. Or have a cell phone. Though why would I even need a cell phone. When I have no one to call.
I don't work because of my handicap. I don't go to collage because I never passed high school. Don't have a ged. Don't drive couse of my eye sight. Please some one talk to me.

The simple answer is to find people who do not have busy lives?

Have you tried the chat rooms here on CC? The Lounge always has a big group you can talk to and people you can get to know. Most are regulars and easy to strike up conversations with.

i'm so sorry that you're struggling to find friends. do you belong to a church? i'd suggest getting involved in ministries that they are doing, or bible studies that are being offered. or perhaps volunteer in your church, such as helping in the nursery or doing something to serve others.

i have no idea what your transportation options are -- here in my city, there is public transportation available, and for those with disabilities, "door to door" transportation is available as well.

one thing i'd encourage is to try to find some volunteer opportunities outside of your church as well. for example, they always can use people to help out at nursing/convalescent homes, as i would imagine there are a lot of older people who are lonely and have no visitors, who would really appreciate having someone come to visit with them.

further, there are a number of organizations that are run almost exclusively by volunteers, from the library, to the blood drives, to the homeless missions, to the thrift stores.

i don't know how bad your vision is, but for years i worked near a library, and on my lunch hour one day a week, would walk over to the library so that i could read a book or two for preschool/kindergarten kids.

making friends with other volunteers has put me in contact with folks who have generous, giving hearts who share my values and priorities, and i hope that these ideas help.

Instead of dwelling on what you DON'T have, try making a list of what you DO have. :)

What you're doing wrong is leaning into the reliability and tact of others, haha (no offense intended to anyone). People can be, well...in a word: flaky. Also─and I hope you aren't discouraged by this─they may want someone without your limitations so that they can pursue a sense of fulfillment or satisfaction in the friendship; Don't drive? Can't go out or be the designated driver. Don't work? No money to waste with them. No education? Maybe they think you can't keep up intellectually as a result (mind you that this is all speculation, not a reflection of what I actually think of you).

Whether people are doing any of said things or not, you have a community here that can be pretty uplifting and encouraging. Make some friends here!

Hi, Mystery!

I'm sorry to hear that. You are bold and HONEST, a lot (thanks for being so transparent).

You need no sympathy, but friends and, if I'm allow to say it, that takes time and, online, that would be somewhat superficial, LIMITED, temporal and, sometimes, you need to dig in what they've shared here to know if they are seeking friendship, if they are alone, if they like similar things like you.

People who try to get friends online are also here.

Don't thing you are too alone in this!

Maybe they're not alone, but their limited by seasonal reasons like snow, their winter. They are (sometimes) alone by their reasons to stay home instead of going out. Someone doesn't like to work. Some are emotionally limited, the age is a limit also and someone who stayed away from college or their family will welcome you (if they like: No push needed)

A couple of years ago, I got several friends online and evenly I got a couple of GFs so, if they like the way you are, someone will notice (but don't trust too much people) instead, trust GOD an insist on asking Him a friend, a real one who would appreciate you, the way you are (if someone tried to CHANGE YOU, he/she doesn't really liked you, by the way)

Welcome to CC!

Disclaimer:

Secular Hermit is a hermit... Please don't get me misunderstood. Yet, I don't see any reason you wouldn't like to write on YOUR blogs or inside people's threads. Just take your time, step by step and, since you probably have time, LEARN FROM WHAT PEOPLE'VE SAID... You would see it better than me.

May the Almighty bless you with the desires of you clean heart.

:)

Siberian! You are a BLESSING.

May GOD send you someone to feel a warm hug.

That's why new girls here on the block need "the secrets" of ladies room

(Did someone tell her about it to seek some help there, too?)

May I suggest you to use twitter, for a time?

Few of those followers would be personal but, by default, you would know about the issues your country (or the world) are talking about.

Take note that people have different persona's when it comes to pure messaging (i.e. texting, email, etc.). When taking this into consideration, your mind would/should wrap around the type of persona that the person you're wanting to message given the way/grammer the person chooses to use. This happens to me very often and does frustrate me as well, but be slow to anger and understand that there won't necessarily be an answer to everything (yet...).
